Rise of the TMNT: My Version

The Ancient Art of Ninja Hide and Seek

The episode begins with Raph opening a pizza box.

Raichu: Mm~! Can't wait to dig in...

Male Meowstic: It looks delicious.

Raph: Before we eat, let's play rock-paper-scissors to see who gets the first slice.

Mikey: You're on!

Raichu: I know where this is coming from.

Male Meowstic: Mikey always choose scissors...

Mikey chooses scissors and Raph chooses rock.

Mikey: I lost again! Why does this keep happening?!

Male Meowstic: (to Lemon) Told you. It's predictable.

Raichu: Rai Rai...

Raph: I shall take... (notices that a slice of pizza is missing) Hold on! There's a slice missing! Okay, who took it?!

Leo: Wasn't me. I was standing far from the table.

Donnie: Same here.

Mikey: I didn't even ate it yet!

Raph: So if you three didn't grab a slice, who did?

Splinter: That would be me! (they turn to see Splinter holding a slice of pizza) Today will be your lesson.

Leo: A lesson about starving people to death.

Splinter: (throws pizza at Leo) No! Today, you will learn about ninja concealment.

Kamala: One of my favorite lessons. Follow us to the rooftops so the lesson will begin.

The lights turn off and back on to reveal the pizza that Leo was holding was missing.

Leo: Oh come on! I was gonna eat that slice!

|Rooftops|

Kamala: Alright, boys! Ninjas are known to use the darkness as their advantage.

Splinter: You are task of retrieving a collar from Big Mama's Yokai hotel.

Raichu: Hold up! How do you know about Big Mama?!

Alolan Ninetales: We have heard stories about her. Anyways, you need to learn about ninja concealment if you are going to retrieve a collar.

Splinter: Lesson #1: Blend in the shadows. (goes into shadows)

Kamala: The shadows are your best ally. You need to use these shadows to sneak by or attack your enemies by surprise.

Splinter: Lesson #2: Light as a feather.

Kamala: Ninjas are known to move around without making a sound. You can't let your enemies know you're here. You need to make your presence unknown.

Splinter: Lesson #3: Blind spots.

Alolan Ninetales: Everything is a blind spot. You must use it effectively in order to sneak around without them noticing.

Splinter: Lesson #4: Slow motion Jitsu!

Donnie: Ha, you can't fool me with that one. I can... (notices his Tech-Bo is missing) Hey, give me back my Tech-Bo! (pats himself) And my wallet! (Splinter chuckles)

Male Meowstic: Not cool.

Splinter: Lesson #5...

Mikey: I think I can do this!

Kamala: Go right ahead, Michelangelo.

Mikey and Rena tries but fails.

Kamala: That wasn't it. Please stop fooling around.

Raph: I'll show you fooling around!

Leafeon: Please don't.

Raph repeatedly stomps the rooftop floor. Causing it to collapse alongside with the rest.

Raichu: Raph~!

Raph: Sorry! Guess I got carried away.

Midnight Lycanroc: Is everyone okay?

Male Meowstic: (floating) We're fine. Mostly.

Splinter: (wearing turtle disguise) I'm fine here as well!

Raph: Good. Everyone's okay. (realizes) Wait a minute! I don't remember having a fifth brother!

They pounces at Splinter but were stopped by Hagiwara.

Hagiwara: Yo!

Raph: Hagi?!

Hagiwara: Hey dudes. What's up? I was just in the neighborhood. Walking around until I heard a huge crashing sound. Everything okay?

Raph: We're fine.

Splinter: I was simply teaching them the art of ninja concealment. (takes off disguise)

Turtles: Whoa~...

Kamala: Ninjas and kunoichis are masters of disguise. If you want to get in, you have to wear something to conceal your identity so the enemy doesn't know it's you. (sighs) But it seems you're more focused on goofing around rather than paying attention.

Mikey: We were paying attention!

Kamala: Really... Maybe you're ready enough to go on the mission of retrieving Gus's collar.

Raichu: We totally are! Just watch! We're gonna show that we have been paying attention!

Kamala snaps her fingers to return all of them to the rooftop.

Kamala: Then go and do it. Since you're SO prepared for this mission.

Raph: We will! (takes out Pokeball) Come on out, Draco!

Dragonite: Dragonite!

Leo: Good idea, Raph. (takes out Pokeball) Let's go, Red Moon!

Salamence: Salamence! (uses Flamethrower at Leo)

Leo: (screams) What did I do?!

Salamence: I'm in a bad mood right now.

Leo: Well there was no need to use Flamethrower on me! (sighs) Anyways, (hops on) we have a collar to retrieve. To Big Mama's hotel!

Leo and Raph flies off on their respective Pokemon while Mikey rides on Donnie's Battleshell to go after them. Emerald uses Psychic to levitate Rena, Lemon and Nightmare for flight.

Raichu: See ya later! (chuckles)

Hagiwara: Will they be okay?

Kamala: Depending if they will follow their training or not. (gasps slightly) I have an idea. How about we sneak in ourselves?

Alolan Ninetales: To spy on them?

Kamala: Exactly! We need to see if they will do this successfully or not.

Splinter: Excellent idea, Kama! We shall do just that!

Alolan Ninetales: I agree. Seeing them in action will prove if they have paid attention or not.

Hagiwara: Can I come with you?

Splinter: Why yes! Yes you can, Hagi! Let's go!

Everyone: Right!

|Battle Nexus Hotel|
|Elevator|

Splinter quickly takes out the octopus bellhop in order to wear the bellhop uniform. Aurora and Silva are also wearing bellhop uniforms as well.

Leafeon: You think they won't know it's us?

Splinter: They won't! They'll be too focused on their work to notice us.

Alolan Ninetales: (sighs) It's been so many years since we've been to this very hotel... It certainly didn't changed.

Splinter: Not at all. It's business as usual here... (sighs) Brings me back memories...

Alolan Ninetales: Agree.

Leafeon: Looks like we're here.

Fox Bellhop: Everyone, look alive! Big Mama needs our assistance! (turns to Splinter) You! You handle the elevator!

Splinter: Uh... Yes sir! I'll be holding down the elevator job! (repeating pressing the close button) Come on, stupid elevator.

Alolan Ninetales: And us as well!

Leafeon: Right. We'll be at your service, Mr. Fox.

All the bellhops quickly inside the elevator. Once it goes up, they quickly leaves.

Leafeon: They sure are dedicated people.

Alolan Ninetales: They serve under Big Mama. So of course they would be dedicated for her sake.

A rolling table with a white cloth on it appears behind them. The three hears Mikey and Donnie talking to each other.

Leafeon: (whispering) They're not being so quiet.

Splinter: (whispering) I know, Silva. But remember, we are only here to observe them. To see if they will use my lessons effectively.

Leafeon: (whispering) Right.

Donnie's hand appears out of the cloth and presses one of the elevator buttons. The floor they went to is where Gus is walking around.

Splinter: (hides) That must be Gus.

Alolan Ninetales: He hasn't changed a bit. (sees Donnie's leg pushing the table towards Gus) What are they doing? That's not how they were trained to do.

As soon as Gus turns, they stopped. This makes Gus suspicious.

Leafeon: This is gonna be a disaster.

Splinter: Not on my watch! (jumps and uses his tail to open the tray)

Gus eats the steak and leaves.

Mikey: Aw~, we blew it!

Donnie: Not to worry. We'll get that collar next time.

|Pokemon|

Raichu: So why are we separated from the others again?

Trio: (groans)

Midnight Lycanroc: Do we have to tell you, Lemon?! We need to get the butterfly necklaces.

Male Meowstic: (looking at his phone) According to the book, it states that the butterfly necklaces allows Pokemon to get their Insectica forms. Meaning we'll be able to use the power of bugs.

Raichu: Oh~... Now I remember! But where are the necklaces?

Male Meowstic: Hm... My memory is still vague... But I do remember that Big Mama usually keeps the necklaces in her room... I think.

Tsareena: Take your time, Emerald. I'm sure you'll find that memory eventually.

Raichu: We don't have time for that! We need to get the necklaces now! Let's just head to Big Mama's bedroom and take it right now!

Male Meowstic: Hold on, Lemon. Remember the lessons from Splinter and the others. We need to stay in the shadows and blend in with our surroundings. Lessons 1 and 5.

Raichu: Oh right... We're supposed to be using the lessons. I forgot about that...

Above them, Kamala, who is turned invisible, is watching the group.

Kamala: Butterfly necklaces? I see... So they're doing their own thing while the Turtles are getting Gus's collar.

Midnight Lycanroc: (sniffs in the air) Guys, someone's coming. We need to hide.

They hide and peek to see who it is. What they saw was Ke Ai Sai Hu who is carrying a box which contains the butterfly necklaces.

Ke Ai Sai Hu: (looks both ways) Good. I don't sense anyone here. (starts walking) I need to bring this box to Big Mama's safe in her office.

Raichu: We need to get that box.

Male Meowstic: Agree. But first, let's use the lessons as an advantage.

Raichu: Or~ we could just simply take her out and take the box from her? That would be a much better tactic then sneaking around.

Male Meowstic: Let's do both since I don't have the energy to yell at you for what a risky plan you had created.

Raichu: Okay. Let's do this.

|Raphael|

Hagiwara: (spying on Raph) Come on, Raph... Remember to blend in with your surroundings.

Raph takes a large leaf from its stem. He then holds it up to his head and tip-toes his way to Gus.

Hagiwara: That's not what I meant by blending in with your surroundings. (facepalm) What an idiot. He's gonna expose himself to Gus.

Before Gus could see Raph, Hagi throws a ball at him.

Gus: Oh boy! A ball! (catches ball but falls into the water)

Hagiwara pulls Raph from behind the wall. Once Raph sits down, he pushes a painting to cover him.

Gus: (stands up) Who throw the ball? (turns to see nothing) Strange... I thought someone was after me for some reason.

He goes through the wall which turns around.

Hagiwara: That was a close one... I hope Leo is doing okay with his training...

|Leonardo|

Kamala: (hiding) I made it to the sporting lounge. Where yokai come to watch the Battle Nexus Tournament. However, they won't let someone like me to be here since I look like a child. Time to use some magic. (summons magic circle and starts writing with her claws) Age Growth: Teenager! (transforms)

{{Kamala grows taller. Her chest became a bit bigger while still being covered in fur along with her waist and behind areas. Her hair grows longer along with her tail and her claws.}}

Kamala: Much better. (spots Leo) There he is... Seems like he's using the blind spots. (turns to see Gus) And there's Gus. (observes Leo who ends up being in front of him) What is he doing?! (facepalm) That's not how blind spots work! I gotta confront him but I have to observe him... This is quite difficult. (looks around) I may have an idea.

She walks up to one of the bars. Mamta Shamra was cleaning the glass jugs.

Mamta: Hello there! Welcome to the sporting lounge! Where you get to watch the Battle Nexus at the comfort of your seats. What can I help you?

Kamala: Um, I would like you to talk to Gus over there.

Mamta: Gus? Sure! He's such a lovable dog... Sometimes being a bit too mean-spirited but overall a sweetheart. What do you want me to talk to him about?

Kamala: Um... Anything. Just anything you want.

Mamta: Anything eh? Well chica, leave it to me.

Kamala: Thank you. (after she leaves) I hope Leo doesn't get discovered by... |Gus: Hey! You're one of the Turtles!| Now this is troublesome.

Mamta: Gus, please calm down. No need to shout, amigo.

Gus: You don't understand! This is the enemy of Big Mama!

Leo: Uh... (tips jug to spill juice on Gus) Blind spot! (rans off)

Gus: (growling) Come back here!

Mamta: Hey! (jumps over the counter and runs after them)

Kamala: This is gonna end badly... (teleports)

|Pokemon|

Rena, Nightmare, Emerald and Lemon are being chased down the hall by Ke Ai Sai Hu. Lemon is carrying the box with his tails.

Ke Ai Sai Hu: Come back here with that box! I don't know how you were able to sneak in without being noticed but I won't let you leave here alive!

Raichu: So any plans as to how to get out of this mess?!

Male Meowstic: Hm...

Midnight Lycanroc: My Stone Edge nor Rena's Grass Knot didn't work on her! What else can we do?!

Lemon trips which causes the box to fly over them.

Tsareena: The box!

Raichu: Whoops.

The box crashes into the wall. Making the lid open up to reveal the butterfly necklaces spewing out of the box.

Male Meowstic: I have an idea. (grabs butterfly necklace) In order to activate Insectica Evolution, we need to rub the necklace three times.

Tsareena: Just do it quick! She's getting closer!

Male Meowstic: (rubs three times) Insectica Evolution! (transforms) Have some of this! (summons honey on the ground) Trap! (creates a honey box) That should give us some time.

Emerald's white parts of his body changes color to purple. He now wears a bumblebee mini dress with bumblebee wings on the back of it. He also wears yellow lips, purple-green eyeshadow, yellow and black-striped gloves, golden tiara, bumblebee antennas (separated from tiara), honeycomb hairclip on the left side of his head, and the twin tails transforms into stinger below the wings.

Raichu: Awesome! You're a bumblebee!

Male Meowstic: Yes I am... (twirls honey wand) Nightmare, Lemon, Rena, grab the butterfly necklaces. You three grab one each and then the rest goes to the box.

Trio: Understood!

After they do that, they quickly ran off while the moon rabbit is trapped in the honey box.

Raichu: I wonder if the others were able to get Gus's dog collar. Actually, I wonder why Splinter wants that collar so badly.

Tsareena: Now that you mention it, it is quite weird he wants the collar. I thought it would be something much more valuable than a simple dog collar.

Midnight Lycanroc: Like getting jewelry or a mystic weapon that Big Mama secretly has?!

Raichu: Other than the butterfly necklaces?

Midnight Lycanroc: Exactly! But why a collar?

Male Meowstic: Well whatever the reason, Splinter isn't gonna tell us. Nor will Aurora and Silva.

Raichu: Raight...

Suddenly, they crashed into the Turtles who were being chased by Gus and the Bellhops. All of them going through the wall to a bedroom.

Splinter: Where did they go?!

Mamta: Who are you?!

Hagiwara: We have a lot to explain but we can do that later.

Kamala: Let's go to the vents.

Alolan Ninetales: Smart idea.

|Turtles|

Raichu: Ow~... That hurts!

Male Meowstic: Did you get Gus's collar?

Raph: Not yet.

Gus: Now you're surrounded! (Bellhops appears) You have nowhere else to hide.

Raichu: We're done for!

Male Meowstic: No we're not, Lemon. We got Insectica Evolution at our side.

Tsareena: And the lessons as well.

Mikey: Right! Lights-out Jitsu!

Donnie: Mikey, that's not gonna... (the lights turn off) I'll never doubt you again.

Raph: Let's make our pop proud! By sticking to the shadows.

The group hides in the shadows. Taking out the three Bellhops one by one. Gus begins sniffing the air but can't pick up their scent.

Splinter (in the vent): Huh?

The Turtles, in their Insectica Forms as they have secretly transform into their Harmonic Forms, use the lessons from Splinter and Kamala. Successfully getting the collar in the progress.

Alolan Ninetales: Lessons 1 through 5...

Kamala: They really did pay attention after all... And I thought I was gonna give them extra lessons. Darn it.

Splinter: I do deserve the "World's Greatest Dad" cup!

Mikey: Aw~!

Raph: Group hug!

They all hug Splinter affectionately.

Splinter: Wait 'till tonight. I'll explain everything.

Leafeon: Eh?

|Later|
|Battle Nexus Hotel|

The elevator heads to Big Mama's room which has web goo all over it. Splinter swiftly and quickly goes to the dresser. The dog tag turns into a key which he uses to open the dresser and takes out a picture. The picture showing Lou Jitsu (Splinter's human self) and Big Mama together.
